TRANSITION PARTNERSHIPS: PLANNING PROGRAMS, IDEAS, AND STRATEGIES FOR STUDENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER

 Presented by e Wiest Webb and Mulvihill

March 10, 20119:00 am - 3:00 pmONLINE VIA ADOBE CONNECT

We all know about the astonishing increases in the numbers of individuals who have autism spectrum disorders (ASD). With growing numbers of adolescents with ASD, school and agency personnel must partner with students and their families as they navigate options for adulthood. A lack of adequate general information about students with ASD and training for school and agency personnel is an issue across the nation. Because of the unique needs of young adults with ASD, all partners must be well informed in order to facilitate the student’s transition to the complexities of adult life. Researchers and practitioners are committed to compiling data and information about effective learning practices for this population, along with social skill strategies for these students. This session will feature ideas for student-focused planning, student growth and development, interagency collaboration, program structure, and family involvement in the process (Kohler, 1996). Handouts, resources, and other information that align with the presentation will be shared during the day.
